This much-desired object can be accom-

Therefore we hlve formed the Order Of

SAN Francisco. Jan. 2S.-The Direc-
tors of the Garments Omnibus company
have for some days past been contem-
plating the application for franchise to
construct and crate cable road along
Post street, from Market to Central ave-
nue.. distance of about two miles. The
estimated amount required to put such
road in operation Is about $500. 900. 1t
is said dithat the KNIGHTS Of Labor and
members Of the trades hpions will be
assessed TO raise that sum-. Sh res will
be issued only to bona fide wage workers,
and the number Of shares to be eNheld by
each person is to bs limited. 1t ID be-
lieved that the money can be easily
raised. as there are 25.OOO wage workers
in this city belonging to trades organi

COMING AROUND.
what Capitaiist JsurAsl q IL r.@aAs
Says About sestalisn.

At receut club dinner in Bo1ton
Professor Sumner Of Yals college de-
clared that ''any scheme or project that
has for its object to do away with the
hardships oflife and bring about equality
.among men through the fundamentally
of the state, while 1t might be real gem
uine Socialism, was at war with liberty" "
The favorite doctrine for the last half
century among exponents Of social and
political science has been that liberty
was all that was neededItQ make the hu-
man race happy and wealthy and wise
that the laws of nature would work out
the economical salvation Of all men if
they were notinterfered with by a med
dlesome government. II is not saying
too much, however. to suggest that this
view has within the last two or three
years undergone considerable modi ica-
tions. II is by no means SO unflinch-
ingly asserted as it was q few years ago.
In the first place. it is little strain
upon the thorough-going advocate OF the
let-alone policy to defend anv system Of
public schools. When he goes further
and admits that laws are advisable lin
iting the number of hours that children
NAV be employed In factories, he ap-
pears to sbandon his principles alto
getber. Certainly no adherent of the
Manchester school of econ omists can
look with anything but disapproval
upon measures for the governmental
regulation of railroads, as provided for
in the interstate commerce bill, while
the sentiment Of those persous who
would have the government take pos
session of the roads and telegraph lines
should be to HIM the grossest Of all alb
surdities. But the progress of events Of
late years has convinced many men tn at
the let7alone policy did not meet all the
requirements of society. Every parallel
railroad built aud so Id to the rival com-
panY has driven an additional nail int:
the coffin of the>doctrins, 30 far as uni
versal acceptance was hoped for, aud the
feats performed bY great corporations
in swallowing smaller ones have con.
vinced the great mass Of ths people that
they have been "let alone" far TOD long
The fact is, there are not manv men
who want TO 20 as far as Buckle did, in
limiting the proper duties of govern,
ment. Professor Summers definition
places within the ranks of the Socialists
all protectiouists, all who would restrict
the powers Of monopolies, and all, in
deed, who even sustain the principle
upon which the government undertakes
the transportation of the mails. That
makes most of Us Socialists, and the diff.
ference between the man who would
have the government control all indus
try and the man who would have ii
limit its interference with priuate en-
terprise to carrying the mails and main
tanning lighthouses is one rather Of de-
gree than Of principle.
1t may we'll be. that Socialism is, as
Professor Sumner says, at war with lib
erty. All existence is matter Of COM
promise, and the onlypraclical question
is as to the point at which it Is best to
cease surrendering liberty In exchange
for other advantages.-San Francisco
Examiner, January 27.
